What is 103 percent of 120?
Answer: 123.6
Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.
Steps:
Lets assume 103 percent of 120 is X.
Therefore, we can also say, X = 103% of 120
103% can also be written as 103/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.
So, X = 103/100 × 120
Or, X = 1.03 × 120
So, X = 123.6
So, 103% of 120 is 123.6
(You may also first multiply 103 with 120, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)
% of

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.
Answer verification
Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100
LHS (Percentage) = 103
RHS = 123.6/120 × 100
Or, RHS = 1.03 × 100
So, RHS = 103
We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
